GIIAS 2015: Suzuki Ertiga facelift – updated 7-seater

Here are the first photos of the Suzuki Ertiga facelift, live from the on-going Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2015 show in Jakarta.

Design-wise, the Suzuki Ertiga’s styling from the side is pretty much the same as the pre-facelift. However for the front, a different chrome grille that’s linked to the headlamps alongside a shapelier lower bumper and more angular fog lamp housings with chrome trims make out the entire redesigned fascia.

At the back, the rear lights now come in an L-shape as some red reflectors are conjoined to it. It also gets some chrome embellishment across the back with the Ertiga name inscribed in the middle. The new MPV also comes with refreshed rims as well.

It will most likely stick with the same proven K14B 1.4 litre engine paired with a five-speed manual or four-speed auto transmission, however this time round, drivers will be pleased to find added features such as electric folding wing mires, airbags for most variants together with power windows with auto-up function.

Practicality for the seven-seater is enhanced with 50:50 split folding third row seats, a console box with electric socket for passengers sitting in the second-row. The Suzuki Ertiga should prove to be quite the competition against the likes of the Toyota Avanza and its twin, the Daihatsu Xenia.

Having spent a number of years as a journalist for a local paper, a marketing executive for a popular German automotive brand and a copywriter, Graham, a true-blue Sarawakian, knew he had to take the leap back into the motoring scene - and so he did. To him, nothing’s better than cruising for hours along a scenic route, in a car that’s designed and built for that purpose.
